CLEANLINESS.

If the earth turns up lumpy al

waiting tor rain. A light shower
which would not moisten large
Jumps will render small ones fit to
moulder as fine as ashes.
A box kept we'll supplied with
ashes in which charcoal is found
should be within reach of hogs all
the time at this season of the year.
Like all grass feeders, they are apt
TO be troubled with acidity of the
stomach, and the coal and ashes
correct this.
Because you have but a short
distance to 90 is no reason why
YOU can drive faster or put on a
heavier load than usual. To 90 two
or three miles at too rapid a rate
is much harder upon horse than
it would be TO 60 five times as far
if it was properly driven.
If the air in the cellar is too
damp the dampness can be remov'
ed by placing a peck or so of un-
Stacked lime in an open box on the
floor. A peck of unslacked lime
will absorb about seven pounds, or
more than three quarts of water,
and in this way the air IN a cellar
can always be kept dry.
Tomatoes raised in light, rather
poor soil in a sheltered or warm
situation, are always sweet in favor

rich soil or in partial shade are al
ways sour. A rank growth of TO-
liage shades the fruit densely and
interferes with the development Of
the saccharine principle. Again,
tomatoes raised in pOorlsh, light
soil riben earlier than those raised
in rich soil.

that when the COWS were put oil

Since then he has planted dande
lions IN fields laid down in grass il
order to improve the pasture, ant
the effect has been beneficial.
The growth of a calf that is In

THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.


On the 18th of NAV, 1887, the Balti-
more Sun will celebrate it's tiftieth ami
versary. From the earliest period Of its
career the Sun has been a household
word in the homes Of its subscribers, and
a synonym for accuracy Of statement, fair
dealing, promptness, energy and enter
prise in the collection of news. IL is noted
throughout the country for the indepen-
dence, conservatism and thoughtfulnes OF
its editorial utterances. There IS probably
no newspaper in the United States whose
opinion carries more weight OF whose in
nuence IS more widely extended than the
SUMS, fact upon which 1t may Justly
pride itself as the legitimate result OF
painstaking care in the preparation OF all
matter admitted TO its columns. The
SIMS facilities for collecting news from
all quarters of the globe are being con-
stantly extended and improved, and new
features are added without regard TO ex-
pense as the occasion demands.
The Baltimore Weekly Sun has long
occupied an enyiable position as model
family newspaper, containing not only the
news Of the world and variety Of literary
